Although Fred Hoyle's continuous creation of single atoms in space was never accepted, current theory does refer to continuous creation and mutual annihilation of particle-antiparticle pairs. Further, it seems that this process could have preceded the creation of our present universe.
Blish's Hevians detect creation and annihilation in intergalactic space and I think that they did this before such creation and annihilation came to be regarded as the normal state of space, as described by Anderson, but please correct me if I have got this wrong.
The above-linked posts cover continuous creation in works by Anderson and Blish and also summarize the matter as far as I want to go into it at present.

Kaor, Paul!
I admit to being baffled by such strange ideas as the continuous creation and destruction of particles/antiparticles. But that only the limitations of my knowledge of science and cosmology.
